soapbox

It’s official: I have abnormally large pupils. I just went to see the eye doc this morning, and he asked me if my pupils are always so large. He was going to have me come back, due to time constraints (stupid construction, made me late) to have my pupils dilated so he could look at my retinas, but then, when he noticed how large they were anyway, he tried and succeeded in doing the exam without dilation. I’ve had other eye docs ask me about my pupils, and even the assistants, when I’m picking out glasses, will ask if I’ve had my eyes dilated and are suprised when I say I haven’t.

Nathaniel and I are going lifting sometime this evening; if anybody else wants to join the fun that’d be cool too. (Tim, you usually like to go earlier – would something like 7pm work?)

TiVo’s new signing with Yahoo looks sweet, but in the meantime this is still pretty cool: classic older TV shows, downloadable legally. Warner Brothers is preparing a new service, “In2TV”, that will let fans watch full episodes from more than 100 old television series (including Welcome Back Kotter, La Femme Nikita, Maverick, Wonder Woman, and Babylon 5). “More than 4,800 episodes will be made available online in the first year.”
Naturally, with AOL involved, there is a catch… (more…)

There was a halo around the moon tonight when I left Wilder at 11pm. That means snow in the next 24-36 hours.
